        Really hard to narrow down to 5.

        I think Lamotta and Ali are the two most obvious choices. After that there's a long list to chose from.

        I would have **** Tiger in my Top 5. He truly had one of the ATG chins but pretty much never get's mentioned.

        Monzon is up there, he has one of the best chins I've ever witnessed. I remember when Valdez dropped him, with a huge, clean, solid right hand and everyone was in total shock. Monzon didn't even seem too fazed by it.

        I was still quite young when the second Briscoe fight happened but that punch he landed in the 9th would have knocked out almost anybody. As great as Monzon's chin was, even he was lucky to survive it and only God himself knows how he managed stayed on his feet.

          Always felt Chris Eubank Sr had a truly great chin. Eubank was often matched easy but when he had to take a shot he always proved his worth.

          Nigel Benn - who was a murderous puncher - could never shift Chris and he survived some big punches from Carl Thompson, who was a fully-fledged crusierweight with a decent punch.

          That's the same Thompson who ******-out David Haye.

          Can also still remember Calzaghe (who could dig before his hand problems and was definitely not a slapper) nailing an ageing Eubank about 15 seconds into their title fight.

          Getting cracked so early, flush and hard in a fight would have had most blokes shocked and back-pedalling like crazy.

          But Eubank just gets up, gives Calzaghe a couple of nods and smiles, has a bit of a chat with the ref, and then comes steaming back.
